Student Life
Audacious
We have arrived. Today we registered for our Student Life experience and went and checked into our hotel rooms. We spent some time in the pool and then some time at the beach.
This evening we went to our first session to enjoy an uplifting time of worship with Christ Tomlin and then were challenged to surrender and give God our all in our endeavors to be audacious in our service to Him by Lou Gigglio.
The story of the Prodigal Son was used to illustrate how regardless of how far we may wonder or what mess we might get ourselves in: the heavenly Father is always watching, waiting and looking for us to return to Him. And how reassuring it is to know that when we return to Him, He is always willing to welcome us with open arms and restore us to the fullness of His grace and mercy.
Chris Tomlin’s song ‘White Flag’ was the focus of our challenge tonight.
The challenge to waive our flag to surrender to Him and to let the cross be lifted up in our lives.
We returned to our hotel to share with each other the impact that tonight’s service had on each of us.
It was a great beginning to what we believe will be an amazing week.
Prayer
Father, continue to work in our lives, move in our hearts and show us how to truly surrender and be all that you want us to be.
